1.4 System Monitoring and Management

The MobileAccessVE system (Master VCU, Slave VCUs, and VAPs) is centrally managed via a

single Web connection to the Master VCU. The basic screen in the GUI is the Config tab, which

enables the user to view the system topology and setup parameters, Control Units, and all

Access Pods connected to the Control Units.

Note: When locally connecting to a specific Slave VCU, only the VAPs connected to this VCU can

be monitored. However, when connected to the Master, the entire deployment can be

monitored.

1.4.1 Integration with an External Fault Management System

The MobileAccessVE system can be seamlessly integrated into any existing Fault Management

(FM) system that supports SNMP events. The Master VCU generates a SNMP event for each

relevant system alarm and forwards this trap to the pre-configured IP address of the external

Fault Management system.
